Thrift+ deals

Big discounts on second-hand clothing. Likely to boost

If you shop via online second-hand retailer Thrift+, you can get an extra 30% off over 89,000 clearance items when you use the code EXTRA30 at checkout, with a £15 minimum spend.

This deal ends at 11.59pm on Thursday 27 November, just in time for Black Friday – because of this, we predict it'll launch a stronger offer for Black Friday weekend.

Last year for Black Friday, Thrift+ offered 150,000 items for under £5, so it's likely we could see something similar this year.

The clearance includes clothing, shoes, bags, and other accessories such as scarves, so it could be a cheaper way to kit out for the colder months ahead. It's worth noting there are considerably more options in the women's section.

We saw these strong discounts when we checked on Friday 21 November:

• Monsoon Cotton Blend Top – £4.13 with code (was £5.90, reduced from £20)

• White Stuff Pure Cotton Midi Dress – £5.18 with code (was £7.40, reduced from £21)

• Seasalt Midi Skirt – £5.29 with code (was £7.56, reduced from £26.40)

• Oliver Bonas Cotton Blend Maxi Skirt – £7.28 with code (was £10.40, reduced from £24)

• Karen Millen Midi Dress – £13.23 with code (was £18.90, reduced from £54)

When we checked, we spotted some brand-new items with tags, but do make sure to study the photos and make note of any listed imperfections.

Delivery is £3.50 for England and Wales, £5.95 for Scotland, or a steep £9.95 for Northern Ireland. If you want to return an item because you've changed your mind, or it doesn't fit, you have to pay for this yourself.

Thrift+ is popular with MoneySavers and has a Trustpilot rating of 4.4 out of 5 from 10,400+ reviews, with most positive reviews coming from people buying on the site. Thrift+ allows people to send in their unwanted clothes which it then sells for credits, but the deal we're featuring here is all about buying.

What condition are the items in? 

Thrift+ says it checks the quality of each item and gives it an overall condition rating ('Good' for example) which you can see on the product page. If the item has issues, such as marks or loose threads, this will also be listed in the item description under 'Defects'.

However, don't assume that even with the sale that Thrift+ prices will be the best. Check other second-hand marketplaces such as Vinted and eBay* to make sure it's really a bargain before buying.

Via Thrift+ code - works when spending £25 or more

Online second-hand retailer Thrift+ is offering 50% off if you're spending £25 or more – just enter the code 50MSE at the checkout by 11.59pm on Monday 25 August. It'll open up this deal to all from 12.01am on Friday 22 August via a different code, but we've blagged early access to the deal via our code so you can use it now and get first dibs on the preloved fashion.

Even without the code, you can still pick up some cheap clobber, as when we checked, items started at £2. We've spotted brands such as Zara, White Stuff and other high-street favourites, as well as 'designer' labels - examples we saw included DKNY, Barbour and Prada.

The site includes clothing, shoes, bags, and other accessories such as scarves, so it could be a cheaper way to kit out for the colder months ahead. It's worth noting there are considerably more options in the women's section than in the men's.

• Mango jumper (size M) – £1.95 with code (was £3.90, reduced from £10)

• Next suit trousers (size 12) – £2.25 with code (were £4.50)

• Uniqlo pure cotton shirt (size XL) – £2.25 with code (was £4.50, reduced from £7)

• White Stuff pure cotton midi dress (size 12) – £2.30 with code (was £4.59, reduced from £14)

When we checked, we saw some items were brand-new, with tags, but do make sure to study the photos and take note of any listed imperfections.

Delivery is £3.50 for England and Wales, £5.95 for Scotland, or a steep £9.95 for Northern Ireland. If you want to return an item because you've changed your mind or it doesn't fit, you have to pay for this yourself.
